Fearless. Ruthless. Reckless. Armando Aretas is in hiding after a high body count forced him to flee the country. The former assassin and drug dealer now lives a quiet life with his head down, minding his business working as a buss boy. But when his beautiful, too innocent coworker is in danger one night, he abandons his rule of staying out of it to help her. Sweet. Kind. Innocent. Brielle "Bri" Palmer lives a simple life and she likes it that way. When she's not serving hungry customers at the diner on the weekend, she's teaching her kindergarten class as she she works towards her masters. Her mom thinks she should've accepted the engagement she rejected. Her father thinks she should come work for the family business. Her friends think she should do as her parents says and go back to her lavish lifestyle. Brielle thinks everyone should stop trying to tell her what the fuck she should do with her life. The only person who doesn't seem to care about her is her sexy and a maybe even a little intimidating co-worker at the diner. At least that's what she thought until the night he saves her and Brielle learns that there is something dark and mysterious behind the quiet mask he's shown her and for better or worse, Brielle wants to peel back every layer and find out exactly who the real Armando is. What happened next neither of them saw coming. Light. Laughter. Passion. Love. But what happens when Armando's past comes back to haunt him?

"He'd do it again if it meant she got the chance to live." "He looked at her, actually looked at her, and wondered how anyone who saw her, didn't fall in love with her." "A trade was to be made." "Friendship was going to be the only way to get through this." "And it was then, Estella realized, he didn't want to be saved." *************** A story of Estella Dumbledore, a seer, and granddaughter of Albus Dumbledore. Friends with the golden trio. Follow the story of close and forever-lasting friendships, true love, and a fight for what is right. I'm really bad at descriptions, but I swear the story is actually better than it seems.

In this, I also made Harry Potter be a height of 6' foot despite him being shorter in the books and movies...and I may have given him abs...It just matched the image in my head better.
